I Just Wait

Through the smoke from my cigarette
I see you clearly jump down off the step

The twinkling in your eyes
makes me wonder if I'm dead or alive
And I, I just wait

How many clues d'you need me to leave you?
I feel like I leave 'em all the time
Spending days together, I just
Can't help wondering when you'll be mine

If I could hold your hand, yes I would
Be with you every day, if I could
But my lips are sealed, like they should
But tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
I'm waiting

Behind my smile lies uncertainty
If you choose a girl, will she be me?

I try to keep my composure today
if I wish too hard, though you might wish away
So I, I just wait

How many clues d'you need me to leave you?
I feel like I leave 'em all the time
Spending days together, I just
Can't help wondering when you'll be mine

If I could hold your hand, yes I would
Be with you every day, if I could

But my lips are sealed, like they should
But tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
I'm waiting

I had my face in shadows
So you won't disturb my dreams
I look on you from a far point
We're beautiful, it seems

But I inch a little closer
And that's all I want to take
You disintegrate before me
And from my lovely sleep I wake

How many clues d'you need me to leave you?
I feel like I leave 'em all the time
Spending days together, I just
Can't help wondering when you'll be mine

If I could hold your hand, baby, baby you know that I would
if I could be with you every, every day I would
But my lips are sealed, I won't say a word
'Couse time, time, time is ticking away

When you gonne open up your eyes and see
That you and I could always be
Put your palm into mine
And stop wasting time

My heart is breaking without you
I don't wonne live another day
'Couse tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
I'm, I'm waiting
